Great video and amazing performance of Headlong Flight! Keep Going Omar!!!! Greetings from Santiago, Chile.

Wow. That was really a great cover (and reaction to your own cover!). I got a real kick out of it. Great job!

Great Job Omar! As a fellow drummer, I really appreciate the effort that goes into learning and executing Neil's complex drum compositions as well as you did. Probably the most mentally satisfying drum parts. I can't imagine actually composing such masterpieces!

[@AllAboutRush]

Yes Hisham, immensely satisfying when we’re anywhere close to playing Neil’s parts. 👍🏻🥁

[@mpkelley20]

Solo was awesome!! Great job.

[@highroader2112]

This is an incredibly difficult song! It took our band quite a while to nail this one down. It’s all kinds of complicated! Great job, Omar!! Really well done!

[@AllAboutRush]

Much appreciated Vicki! I hope to see your band soon. 👍🏻🎶

[@ginamarandino6451]

Wow! That was impressive I always think that if I can do just a quarter of it that I'm accomplished lol!

[@jimtatro6550]

Great job Omar!!!!!

[@AllAboutRush]

Thanks Jim!

[@krishouseholder261]

Well done Omar! You kept damn good time and hit all the accents where they should be! Wouldn’t be cool to jam that live with others… maybe like, hmmm, Geddy and Alex😅 Now, just work on your intensity💪 Neil hit so hard, but that’s what set him apart from others, Power and Design!!! 💯✌🏼🙏🏼😎

Excellent Job Omar, it's a very complicated song, I particularly would feel intimidated to play it, but you did it very well, I've been intrigued with the position of your pedals, and how high you are sitting, very Mike Portnoy style, your drums sound incredible ! again very good job and keep making those good videos that are the delight of many Rush fans! In case you don't know, I also have a channel but it's not as popular as yours, and I also play a Rush one, one of the easy ones The Color of Right check it out

[@AllAboutRush]

Thanks Vitto! There’s a link in the description for more information about the pedals. And I’ll be sure to check out your cover 👍🏻

[@vittogalianodrums]

@@AllAboutRush oh wow! Nice pedals!!

You did pretty darn good, IMHO. But I can't help but notice all of your comments seem to be some sort of apology as to how you did things somewhat differently, and how this and that was different throughout the song. Nothing at all like the braggadicio of other cover "artists" who will try to convince thier audience that it was "easy". No, it's not "easy", but at least you are doing it with respect, and admitting it's not the same. Good, but not to the level of the Professor. Almost.
